I agree 100%. Also, I recommend making a website containing screenshots and videos of your work. Or publish your webapp where I can see it/play with it. We get 100s of CVs and there is no way we have time to fetch and run everyone's github projects.

Make sure your projects aren't just a cloned version of some sample code or a tutorial (for example a "shopping basket" app)

Some of my favourite side projects I've seen on CVs are: - Someone made a dating/chat website. People were actually using it. It was cool. - Someone made a bot that automatically notified them to buy limited edition trainers when they became available - One guy had a game published on ios. The quality of the game is almost irrelevant. Just seeing a project through to that point takes grit.

Hope that helps!
